“Maria took wonderful care of my cats. She was very flexible with her availability as I was waiting for a family member to be released from the hospital. I am thankful for her help.”
“Phoebe has watched our two cats twice now and I will always book her to watch them when we’re out of town. The cats love her and she always sends cute updates and pictures everyday. She doesn’t just feed and water them, she interacts with them and gives them lots of cuddles while we’re away. She is so appreciated!!”
“I have had Aimee watch my cat Harley multiple times. She goes above and beyond to take care of Harley and I appreciate all of the photos and updates she sends. Will continue to use her in the future!”
“Monica is a 5 star sitter. She was very proactive when it came to taking care of things at home with my cat, B, and also a few packages that arrived in my absence. I will book her over and over whenever I need care for B.”
“Provided great care for our border collie while we were away!”

“Mya helps us with our dog and three cats and I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s always on time and very communicative with updates about our pets. Mya is very good with animals…in fact our shy cat got in her lap the first day that she came to our house. Mya is the best!”
“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”
“Maryam is so communicative and really really cares about these cats. I ran out of cat treats and forgot to buy more. Maryam asked where they were during her first visit and then brought her own for the second visit. Always going above and beyond. She is my go to cat sitter.”
“We are so happy we found Mira! We were able to book her for an impromptu weekend trip. She checked-in on our dog and cat daily for feedings and walks. We received updates & pictures for each visit, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be making Mira our regular pet sitter/walker. Our pets give her two paws up! Thank you Mira!”
About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.
About: Working from home means I’ve got plenty of flexibility during the day for walks and check-ins — and since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, I jump at any chance to hang out with neighborhood pups! I grew up with the world’s best Australian Shepherd (shoutout to Roo 🐾), and now I regularly dog sit and walk for families nearby. I’d love to get to know your furry friend and give them some extra love and attention! I work from home 9–5, so I’m usually available during my lunch break to walk dogs or stop by for a quick check-in if you’re nearby. I’m also really flexible on weeknights and happy to help out with dog sitting or evening walks! If I’m going into your home to care for your dog, I will always leave it better than I found it and ensure I’m meticulous about each step that your dog needs to be well taken care of. If I’m walking your pup, I’ll take note of any particularities about how they enjoy walks the best and make sure they’re safe and able to have fun on the walk!

“Amity is an obvious dog lover. She and our lab Gwen get along great! I’m so glad we found someone we can trust in the neighborhood to take great care of our fur baby. Looking forward to booking Amity again.”
“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”

11. Sai A.
“I am pleased to provide a warm recommendation for Sai. Sai has taken excellent and loving care of two cats and one dogs at home. Sai has also taken care of several dogs in the neighborhood. Sai has earned a formal certification as pet sitter during senior year in high school. Sai is conscientious and loves animals.”
12. Brooke S.
“Brooke has watched my dog Bella a bunch of times, and I honestly can’t recommend her enough. She’s super dependable and clearly loves spending time with dogs — Bella warmed up to her really quickly, which isn’t always the case! When they go on walks, I can tell that Brooke actually takes the time to explore with her instead of just doing the usual loop. They check out new parts of the neighborhood, and Bella always comes back happy and ready for a nap. Brooke is super reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs! She makes sure Bella gets lots of love, playtime, and attention, and she always sends the sweetest updates and photos while I’m away. It’s such a relief to know Bella is not just being looked after, but genuinely having fun and feeling comfortable. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and great with animals, I can’t recommend Brooke enough!”
13. Marianne A.
“Marianne is great with our dog Snickers, who is 90lbs and has a large, scary bark. Unlike others who judge at first sight, Marianne formed an easy and gentle relationship with our loving dog and helped Snickers also socialize with her other dogs (which she loves).”

“Noah has always been there for me when I need my dogs watched. He shows up, eager to watch them, and makes sure they get the care and attention they need. My two dogs, while usually timid, warmed up to him immediately and are always excited when he comes to watch them. Noah makes it simpler for me to go on trips, making me feel comfortable knowing my dogs are in great hands while he watches them. I couldn't recommend Noah enough.”
